2. Purchase?
Oh come on... can't they just start it up?

Oh... that's right... the FCC isn't offering any new broadcasting licences until at least 2007. How 'bout that?

6. the fcc has no jurisdiction on the cable channels, and
...no federal liscense is needed since no broadcast bandwith is used.

The dead giveaway is the word 'cable.'

3. Nothing as of yet.
I don't think he's still actively pursuing the idea anymore.

I HOPE SO!

I'd like ot see the liberal network be a mix of satire and humor and real political news. Spice things up with shows not normally expected to be on a news channel.
